ROLL ON, SWEET CHARIOT
And Garry the News Through all
the Land that true DemocraIlc
Principles will Prevail.

Kansas is the most wonderful, the
most prolific, the most prosperous ana
therefore the most advancing state In
the Union. None of our readers Will
deny this. Kansas, so full OF LIE ana
vim and independence, so full OF every
thing that the free American spirit can
appreciate, is steadily learning the
lesson that true democracy holds the
right principle, and under it's direction
will our land be governed wisely ana
well. But few of our readers, II any,
will deny this either.
In the elections just past the strength
! of Kansas democrats is shown TO nave
wonderfully increased in the last twelve
months, and in various republican
strong holds, our party has doWned the
opposition sans ceremony, and has
captured many faltering republican
who has wearied OF the deplorable
management and cheap trickery OF his
former love.
Our own Barton county has made a
record this fall which strikes knell 10
the hopes of the ring leaders OF the OPP
position, and shows them most en-
phatically that a few cannot manage
the affairs of the public to the detrl-
ment of the many. We do not believe
that there are many republicans in the
county who do not i'll their inward
souls rejoice that the spell has been
broken and the way opened for better
state of local affairs; and as to nation
al issues, it will be seen before the
wear 1883 has closed that the present
: fair and honest administration has
t been appreciated by the American peo'
pie.
Here are a few of the county officers
: which have been elected by the demo
cratic party this fall:

clerk; T. b. Bowling. sheriff; Martin W
Stewart. treasurer; Almus A. Love

BERLIN BUDGET.
What IL Thought ana sand or the
CaEarei Scandal.


Press.l
BERLIN, October lj.-The French
military scandal occupies attention IN
both public and official circles. 1t is
impossible to deny that the revelations
crafty the German sentiment toward
France. chiefly because of the dis
closure of internal disorder and cor
ruptlon, and discord in high places
which helps to thwart Revsnchist
designs and even toward batting the
Rovanch rancors. General Boulangers
conduct is especially condemned by
the whole press. His action is revolt
ing to the German ideas of army dis
cipline, the strictest subordination
being required of all German officers
from the highest to the lowest.
The North German gazette, COM
menting on the affair from an official
point OF view, declares that Bou-
hangers open breach OF discipline has
brought matters to an acute crisis and
left General Ferron, the War Minister,
no alternative but the immediate pun
ishment Of the offender.
The National G0-ettc considers Bon
langer's rifle played ont, and says he
must retire with the faint of CaHarel
and Limorisin about him. He may
place his word, it says, at the disposal
of a Radical revolution, bat if ne is no
better a tactician on the battlefield
than in party warfare his supporters
have little to hope from him.
The TagbiaH says: According to
German ideas it is inconceivable how
such a man can continue for moment
to hold the responsible post of com
handing officer.
The ! ossiSSchc Zcit,mg says No
ambitious man ever before dug his own
grave as Boulanger has done. His
days Of glory and hope arc gone.
This cOuccnsus of newspaper Opin-
ion is BOT quite shared by official cir
cles. where the resurgence of Boulan-
ger as a military leader Of Radicals and
Reyanchists is predicted as tho certain
ultimate issue of the warfare OF the
parties. General Boulanger's innocence
OF anything bat indiscretion is accepted
here us unassailable.
The North German Ga=Ctte ex-
presses distinctly an official conception
Of the whole affair in saying that events
prove clearly how great a part politics
and party viii playin General Caltarels
trial. The Gaecttf's suggestive remark
is borne out by private advices from
Paris that NJ. Ferry is the wire-pulleI
of all the revelations Ferry it j.
WHO got hold Of the facts involy
INK Cafiarel and General Dandlau,
and worked them up 50 rs tc
include Boulangcr and NJ. Wilson
and thus lead TO the downfall of Gene
raj Boulanger, the resignation Of Pre5i-
dcntGrcyy, and the advent Of VI. Ferry.
While condemning the intrigue the
Germans have confidence in The pru
donce Of NJ. Ferry's foreign policy
and would welcome the return Of 4
Ferry ministry.

CHARLESTON, October IA report

intimaiing that there had been serious
trouble at Charleston, and as a conse-
quence dispatches have been arriving
here all day making inquiries as to the
condition Of the city and whether there
had been, as reported, another earth
quake. All this trouble grew out of a
small fire at railroad crossing, about
three miles from the city, which burned
down some telegraph-pol and Gu of
communication with this city for seye-
Ial hours. The total loss by the fire did
not exceed 81, 800, and not more than
one man in a thousand in this city
knew that there had been blaze. As
for atmospheric and electrical disturb
ances, We have had nothing of this kind
here TO amount 10 anything since Au-

at Charleston than it ever was before,
and there has been no seismic disturb
